Beast Mode may not rest for long
When Marshawn Lynch first got in trouble this offseason, I envisioned a long-term legal problem and possible suspension that would rival the Plaxico Burress situation. Felony gun charges were quickly dropped though, and Lynch is in New York Tuesday to plead his case in front of The Commish.
It appears Lynch will "only" receive a 1-2 game suspension. That will make Fred Jackson a RB2 option early in the season, but it's not enough to push him too high in drafts. A short suspension is also perfect recipe for getting value in redrafts with Lynch.
Brandon Marshall and Steve Smith both slipped a little too far last season because they weren't ready for Week 1. There is too much focus in fantasy on September, when the money is made far later. I'll happily take Lynch at a one-round discount if he's suspended a couple games.
Unfortunately, Lynch hasn't commented about all the news in his blog since his awesome Beast Mode contest.

Well considering Marshall already had a 2 game suspension reduced to 1 last season he is probably looking at more like 4 games?

I dont think it means too much for Marshall. he's already been suspended once, but yeah maybe it could mean 4-6 instead of 8.
